...after reading a while through the guide, they come across a note of Jacks three- to four-ended sticks for food transportation, they looked at each other, then they looked at their forks, the Pilot facepalmed, the Navigator: "Did we oversee the obvious...?" the Engineer looked to the ground "Let´s just...tell nobody about that and move to the Ai-Core..."...
...they arrived at the conosle and put the fork into the console, following the instructions afterwards...then...
...nothing happened at first...
Pilot: "Wasn´t it supposed to DO something?!"
Navigator: "Well maybe it´s..."
....before he could end his sentence, a quake went through the whole station...
Pilot: "WHAT THE..."
...the Lights turned on and off a few times, then the hull breach in one of the walls started growing back to it´s original shape...the scouting team pressed themselves to the walls, then after a few minutes it stopped, once more the voice from the AI was heard, it seemed more clear than before and lacked the former errors:
"Analysing: Life Support 100% Main module 73% Shipyard: Small part of functionality retained Hull: Testing... outer armor only 20% fixed but atmosphere containment test positive Transmission Logs: 98% corrupted 2% functional Core-Capacity: 67% Currently no more resources for repairs available. ...a few moments of silence, "I am Empyrion the AI of this shipyard, after consulting the master of the former owners I am hereby ordered to serve you."...the scout team was unsure what to do next so they tried to read through the data logs which were mostly corrupted but the 2% leftover were translated for them by the AI it was...blueprints, several of them they were also able to salavge a few parts of the ships in the now (more or less) functional hangar...
Acquired:
-Control over a half functional shipyard of an unknown faction
-Control over Asteroid Belt Defense Installment
-Blueprints: Gae Bolg: Left Wing, Thruster Section, Body
-14 reactor cores
-Gae Bolg: Gravity Drive(a.k.a.GHT)
-About 324.475 credits for the ship scraps found in the hangar
Lost:
-The Pilots temper
-The Engineers trust in his knowledge about station-repairs
-Four meals from one the Stations fridges (the Navigator ate two)

...at a faraway place the Walord stood before Lord Marcus from the P.O.I. together with Terero and frowned, looking at the sign on his hand, "TFD-Gamma-473 Empyrion? That´s...odd, I´ll have to investigate this later..."
(...I suppose getting here took enough time and posts to justify the reward...)
